A Busy Friday

We were short handed last Friday so I was working two beats. It was one of those days where things just dropped in my lap. Right out of briefing I was notified by some narcotics officers that they were doing surveillance on my beat. They wanted me to be in the area in case they needed something.

A short time later they let another officer and I know they were watching a female that had a drug related felony warrant. We went to take custody of her and had a little scuffle. I transported her for the narcotics guys, but they handled the paperwork, which was nice.

After dropping her off I stopped a car for expired registration. It turned out the inspection did not belong on the car so he went to jail. The guy didn't have a drivers license or insurance either so he got a few citations.

As I was leaving the jail I was dispatched to a suspicious person call about a guy sitting in a law chair on the side of a busy road in front of a business. I found the guy and talked to him. A computer check showed he was wanted. So back to jail I went.

Later in the shift I volunteered to go pick up a prisoner at another agency in the area. That was an easy arrest.

The bad thing is while I was at jail one of the businesses on my beat was burglarized for $50,000 worth of rental equipment. The good news is there is video so hopefully they can figure out who it was.
